The Worldbuilder Diaries: Technology This is a post I’ve been excited to write, but also one that I wasn’t sure how to begin. So let’s start with what I mean by “technology.” The standard definitions of the word are as follows: Looking at all of the above, technology can encompass anything from a hatchet to […]
Dragon shifters and why I write them As many of you reading this probably are aware, I wrote a certain series featuring a dragon shifter main character (The Caein Legacy). It’s epic fantasy/sword and sorcery, my go-to genre to write. But as I’ve learned, it’s something of an anomaly (in more ways than one.) When […]
All of my Main Characters I was bored recently and decided to make a list of every main character that has appeared in my published and to-be published books. This was a “just for fun” exercise, but maybe you’ll find it interesting too. So here they are, in alphabetical order: Andrew Caein Books: Exile, Guardian, […]
Reflecting on… Colin This post is the result of a Fantasy Indies prompt from a couple weeks ago, where participants were asked to name their favorite book villains. I had a couple people mention Colin, which got me to thinking… What is it about Colin that makes him such a good (and memorable) villain? I […]

I spent most of January and February editing The Caein Legacy, followed by a first pass of Serpentus. It was a ton of work, but completely worth it (and necessary) before I started […]
Guardian is now available! Guardian is (for some) the highly anticipated sequel to Exile, and it’s now available in all formats on most major retailers! I wanted to thank everyone who has been along for this journey, put up with me while I contemplated publishing this series and how to go about it, and those […]
Guardian and The Next Leg of Andrew’s Journey This week I’m going to discuss a bit of traveling, in terms of The Caein Legacy and how it impacts the story in the series’ second book, Guardian. In Exile, the reader got to experience a few locations in Novania and its northern border with the Corodan lands, as well as […]
Brothers – And the dedication of Guardian If you’ve read Exile, you know that one of the main themes in that book is the bonds between brothers. Andrew’s the eldest, and he looks out for the others…sometimes at great cost to himself. That theme continues into book 2, with greater focus on his relationship with […]
